Persian carpets transformed into art for the fingertips
One of the pieces G-Dragon chose this time was Buccellati’s Rombi Eternelle diamond ring in white and yellow gold. Those familiar with the century-old Italian jewelry brand may know that its founder, Gianmaria Buccellati, had a particular fondness for the geometric patterns found on Persian carpets.
This ring miniaturizes intricate motifs onto its band, with the edges decorated using the brand’s signature Modellato engraving technique. The alternating yellow and white gold, accented with diamonds, creates a richly layered, three-dimensional openwork effect. Whether seen from afar or admired up close, the piece’s shifting play of light and shadow is especially vivid.
ĂtoilĂ©e Eternelle, like soft woven fabric
The other ring sparkling on G-Dragon’s hand was the ĂtoilĂ©e Eternelle eternity ring. If the previous design is defined by lavish geometry, this one has the beauty of classical curves reminiscent of Roman architecture.
The most eye-catching detail is Buccellati’s signature twisted-gold technique. Goldsmiths hand-weave fine gold threads bit by bit, transforming hard metal into a visual texture as soft and delicate as fine fabric. This understated yet highly demanding technique balances the seriousness of men’s formalwear, adding an elegant air befitting an artist.
Fine jewelry with an everyday feel for men and women
Incorporating top-tier craftsmanship into everyday outfits seems to have always been central to G-Dragon’s styling philosophy. Compared with the bold layers of accessories he has worn onstage, his jewelry choices for this UNESCO conference were more understated and restrained.
The combination of white and yellow gold breaks up the monotony of a single metal while offering a great example of everyday stacking. Among jewelry of this caliber, what is hardest to replace about Buccellati is the warmth built through layers of craftsmanship. These two beautiful pieces are now available at boutiques worldwide. Those interested may want to visit a boutique in person and experience the unique appeal of their engraving.
